Bee Science....

                                         A drop of honey (Nectar)

brought home by one single bee 

is rather small,

her honey stomach being 

not much bigger than the head of a pin.

In order to collect

a thimbleful of honey

she would have to fill, empty, and refill it

about sixty times.

However 

the droplet of honey in a single floret

is smaller still. 

Our foraging bee must visit

between one thousand and fifteen hundred single florets of clover

just to fill her honey stomach

once.
